The city of Bellevue has been
my home for over fifty years. I have enjoyed living and working in Bellevue
and have wanted to give back to the city. Having watched Bellevue change over
the years I have noticed
some of those changes have been good while others have been more problematic.
As cities transform
I believe their governmental structures need to be re-examined to make sure they
are representative of the
changing community. I am running for the Bellevue Charter Commission to engage
in that procedure as a
service to my community.
My background has been modest. Graduating from Sammamish High School I attended
Central
Washington University graduating with a degree in education. I worked in
the Bellevue School District for
thirty-one years in a variety of capacities. My teaching spanned elementary
to the high school levels with
the last assignments as a middle school counselor.

My wife and I have been Bellevue
residents for 10 years. Our daughter attends Phantom Lake
Elementary, of which I am the PTA co-President. I also serve on the Board of
Trustees for the Bellevue
Schools Foundation. We are members of the Samena Swim and Recreation Club;
active with the Lake Hills
Soccer Club; and participate in the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue soccer
program. As an active volunteer,
I strongly believe in giving back to the community that provides us a wonderful
place to work and live.
The city of Bellevue and its voters will face a very important ballot on
May 20th in deciding Bellevue’s future
government. If the city charter ballot passes, I want involvement in the
elected commission to ensure a path
of responsibility to all citizens; promote accountability and a voice for
Bellevue neighborhoods; and help
strengthen a tradition of effective and efficient government.

Bellevue has grown considerably
during the past 50 years. Council members living in one
neighborhood can’t fully appreciate issues affecting other neighborhoods.
A combination of district
and at-large representation will ensure better balanced, more efficient
decisions benefiting all of
Bellevue’s stakeholders.
I’ve worked hard to make Bellevue a better place during the 13 years
I’ve lived here. Between 1994 and
1998, I served as President of the West Lake Sammamish Association.
From 1998 through 2000, I cochaired
Neighborhood Network North, a partnership between the City and neighborhood
representatives
until the City abruptly withdrew. I also helped craft two ordinances
providing for less intrusive cell towers
in Bellevue’s neighborhoods.
As business lawyer and Freeholder, I promise to objectively review our
City government and recommend
for your approval the best alternative for the next 50 years. Vote “Marks
for Freeholder” and “Yes For
Charter” on May 20th.
